You are probably referring to "Anatomy of a Controversy" by Adrian
Wenner and Patrick Wells (Columbia University Press New York 1990).
I am a participant in the controversy (see page 354 :The Harald Esch
seminar. I am presently working with a model bee (a computer controlled
robot) that attempts to communicate with bees in a hive. If success-
ful, this might settle the "venerable controversy". If you are interested
you can contact me.
